Prayer & Support
At Pendleton Center United Methodist Church, we’re more than just a congregation; we’re a community of believers committed to healing spiritually broken hearts. Our prayer and support ministries play a vital role in fostering this transformative environment.
Whether you’re seeking comfort, spiritual growth, or a place to serve, we welcome you. Come experience God’s transforming power in your life and the lives of those you love.
Funerals
There are many services the church can provide a family during this time of mourning. Our pastors are available to provide Christian services at the location a family desires: Church, Funeral Home, Cemetery, or Home.
GriefShare
GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Over 13 weeks, you’ll find relief and comfort as you learn what to expect in the days ahead and how to navigate your personal grief process. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability - and gain solid support each step of the way.
Topics include how to manage grief-related emotions such as loneliness, anxiety, sadness, anger, and regret; how to cope with the changes in your life and relationships; how to recognize what’s normal in grief; and what to do if you feel stuck or hopeless. At a weekly GriefShare meeting, you will view a video featuring respected counselors, teachers, and healthcare professionals on grief-related topics. After that is a small-group discussion for sharing, support, and personal application of what you learned in the video. You will receive a book to take home filled with valuable exercises for navigating your personal grieving process.
Feel free to contact Sue Hilts or visit griefshare.org, if you have questions or would like more information.
Our group meets in the spring and fall. Check the calendar for current meeting times.
